Guys, I have a similar issue I'm trying to resolve. I just need and IR to RF converter thing to be able to hide my Cablevision Digital cable box and still be able its use the remote to change the channels on my TV etc, etc. The problem is, I need it for Christmas day. Does anyone know if a major retailer that sells this kind of accessory so I dont have to order online and possibly be surprised with a product that doesn't work right?
